Why is the bent structure of water considered better than the linear one?

• Because it looks nicer

• Due to its color

• Due to VSEPR theory

• Because it has more atoms

What counts as one electron group?

• A single bond

• Two lone pairs

• A double bond

• A triple bond

How many electron groups are around the central atom in carbon dioxide?

• Three

• Four

• Two

• One

What is the bond angle for a molecule with two electron groups?

• 120°

• 90°

• 180°

• 109.5°

Why is it important to consider 3D geometry in Lewis structures?

• To use more paper

• To make it easier to draw

• To accurately predict molecular properties

• Because it looks more complex
